Hughes was born in London, England, and moved to the United States in his twenties. He lived in the U.S. for more than a decade, with his last residence being in Los Angeles, California. He was killed in an accident on 2 December 1916 at Uniontown Speedway in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. Driver Frank Galvin, with his mechanic Gaston Weigle on board, crashed his car into the stands at about 100 miles an hour. Hughes had just crashed his own car and was talking to a teammate at the side of the track when he was hit.[2][3]
